Point of view 2

Hamas=
Give a shout- out because 
this land is so full of thieves,
slanderers, 
all kinds of evil doers.

So Hamas has a suicide bomb.
I hug this "Other brother"
and we both become Shahyds 
of this "crazy love"
for Middle East.

I go to sleep every night and
I keep dreaming about Gaza Habibty.
Whenever I close my eyes,
Gaza Habibty is still there 
and I will NEVER FORGET!
I go to sleep EVERY NIGHT
and I am praying for a new dawn in Middle East,
than I wake up to discover my heart was
hacked in Shahriwar,
during this cyber-summer- 2009.

I was only dreaming about empowerment via compassion.
I was only dreaming about empowerment via dialogue.
For I am hurt, and not asking for cheesy kindeness:
I am asking for freedom and Justice,
like any other person that was opressed,
hurt, abused before.
and I am talking to myself
about myself only,
about what I have learnt and witnessed:
No one can take that away from me.
That is my truth, the only:
some proud people would rather die than not be free,
and that is all I know about myself,
what's it like to be me.

בהמן 22: קליפים

Point of view



I would like to take
a few minutes 
and write a 
reply to Bob_Roony of Twitter.
after he's been
blaming me
with having anti-arab/
anti Islam 
"hidden- agenda".
as I said, I am a Jew.
I am living in Israel.
I don't support terror.
Islamic Republic of Iran is 
now also known  as a
sponsor of terrorism.
Islamic Republic of Iran is
the one to be engaged with
Hamas, a Suni Group that uses
arms and guns against civil population..
The Supreme leader of Iran calls
for unity among muslims-
both Suni and Shiits.
They place themselves as
protecters of muslim rights in
Palestine-
that is legit part IR
diplomacy.
I do not deny that.
But the militant implications this
standing have against my people
I can't support. I can't say I approve such actions.
I can't and don't want to support groups that
ask for more war and bloodshed.
What I do support and  ask for is
dialogue,  
reconciliation,
change, 
reform.
I do want to get to know the people that I 
was educated to see as my enemies.
I am sitting behind the walls of apartheid and racism
- it's my own freedom to breake them. 
for myself,
I want to  hear what the "OTHER"
IS SAYING.
 The other may be Salam Fayad,
Makhmud Abbas
,Palestainines
or other arab leaders and
people that are willing 
to dialogue with me, 
or with Israel - being
it the land I was born in, 
the land I never left.
despite the fact that we are , 
in state of being enemies. 
At times of un-comfort,
un-rest least I can do is to try to listen.
To look at the "other"- my so-called
enemy and LISTEN.
NOT to alter.
Not to de-humanize.
To marg-bar
my own prejudices
and biases.
That is my urge,
my instinct.
Not to cheerlead
to war.
To try to gain respect
and acknowledge what the "other" is saying.
To ask for
humanity,
not to define all
Palestainine People
as "terrorists"
or "demographic threat".
in Palestine there are
  many voices.
Islam doesn't
have only "ONE" voice".
Neither do the
Palestainines or the "Arabs".
Some of the voices
from the other side 
do spew hatred.
as some of voices of
the side I'm coming from.
The voices that spew hatred might be
louder than those who ask for peace.
This goes for Israel as well.
Those who bite get high positions,
as those who
ask for peace are being
hushed to silence.

It's not easy to listen.
To hear the allegation against my race,
against the state I'm living in.
It's not easy to understand that many of the
concepts I grew up believing in are wrong,
or immoral.
It's not easy to deny the
concept of me being part of
a the "chosen people"
or to understand
that those "chosen people"
can be thugs,
and even murderers.
That they can be aggressive,
and even murderers.
Like any other nation on Earth.
Yet I am listening and some of what I am hearing
simply breakes my heart apart.

Living in exile from the sacred herd

#settlers : This is a slippery slope, placing Halakha,
jewish law over #democracy.
This Halakha is given by your Rabbis:
those Rabbis have political agenda.
That agenda places nationality above human rights-
who can approve this?
who can say G-od have chosen to put lives 
of young children in danger?
that G-od wants MORE bloodshed while dialog,
compromise, reconcilation  is an option?
#settlers: using bans, boycotts to deny the "other"-
be it a woman, an arab, an opponent
from right to be heard.
You declare yourself as the "chosen"/"Holly" herd.
You choose what to sacre and what to disapprove.
By doing so, you choose your way, 
to create jewish-identity that is based on nationality.
But there are many other ways to be jewish and seek justice,
no one voice exists to listen to the holly commands.
There is more than one way to be jewish-
You go your way brothers, for I have chosen mine,
with a broken heart, with an identity that's torn appart,
I'm an exile among you- looking outside the meddling crowd,
making my observations as a free individual:
when I look at bursts of brutality, 
spurs of fascism and racism,
as depicted in the news-
I am so ashamed that once I used to be one of you.
